Bengals' Joe Mixon emerges as the top rusher in AFC North

CINCINNATI -- Joe Mixon leads the AFC in rushing and is fourth overall in the NFL, despite missing two games early in the season after a knee scope. The last Cincinnati Bengals running back to lead the AFC in rushing was Rudi Johnson, who had 1,458 yards in 2005.

After consecutive 100-yard games, Mixon is just 5 yards away from getting his first 1,000-yard season.
